a few reviews...

‘This is a gem of a book; intriguing, deep and thoughtful." - IRISH EXAMINER

"(Deegan) shows considerable insight into the minefields of adolescent friendships and knows how to keep the pages turning." THE IRISH TIMES

"...What I didn't expect was to be blown away by the storyline, and by the developments in the lives of all the characters, focusing on Sarah but not excluding Alex, Rachel, David, Mark, Louis... The novels so far would make a brilliant television mini-series." CHICKLISH

"An a amazing series written by an incredible Irish author!" - Amazon

"Denise is a great story teller who writes very well about teenage life. The butterfly novel trilogy will keep you turning the pages." - Amazon

"Gripping, heartfelt story set in the heart of Ireland's most troubled time. Deegan takes us on a memorable adventure into the past. Beautifully imagined and skillfully written - a book to remember." (Kate Kerrigan, author of the New York Times bestseller, the Ellis Island trilogy.)

"I was grabbed from the very first page of this very powerful, emotional and gripping book." - Amazon

"As with Deegan's contemporary novels, the characters come alive on the page & pull you into their world, even though it's one that's distanced from us by time. An emotionally engaging read from an emotionally intelligent author," (Best-selling author, Claire Hennessy.)
